GREASING ... a pig Is not the easiest thing In the
world according to Joyce Huebner and Kan Force, who
are shown practicing for Friday's All-Ag picnic.
Girls To Diaper Pigs
In Ag Picnic Contest
By Trudy Llebcrman
When the pigs wear the dia-
ters instead of the babies, it
s picnic time on East Cam
pus. In the greased pig contest,
which will be one of the events
at the All-Ag picnic Friday,
pigs are caught, diapered
and pulled through a ring.
Animals have always been
a part of the All-Ag picnic
sponsored by the Edst Union.
In 1956 the feathers flew as
roosters were the star attrac
tions. A pair of contestants
had to catch a rooster and
carry it over the finish line.
A picnic supper served from
6:15-7:30 and a street dance
starting at 8:30 will end this
year's picnic. The Faders
combo will play at the dance,
Tickets are available until
Wednesday and cost 75 cents.
A variety of objects have
also been part of the picnic.
Eggs, hay, balloons and base
balls are a part of the All-Ag
tradition. The year 1980
brought bale-stacking to East
Campus. In this event 56
bales are stacked into an or
ganized arrangement.
Past events such us the
baseball game between City
and East Union members, the
balloon ball game between Un
ion employees and faculty
members and a witch's relay
have given way to the cg
toss, piggy back relay and bal
loon relay of this year's pic
nic. Faculty members may com
pete in the events at the pic
nic. One event is even sched
uled for children of faculty
members. In the straw hunt,
the children search for candy
hidden in the straw.
It's a battle of the sexes in
the traditional tug of war
games at the picnic as t h e
champion women's team and
the champion men's team pull
for the trophy. But even t h e
best of ropes can break, and
It happened in 1965.
And for the winners, there
are trophies. In addition to
individual trophies, there will
be an over-all trophy award
ed to the living unit accumu
lating the most points. Last
year, the first time this tro
phy was given, Burr East
and Fedde Hall tied for t h e
over-all trophy.

John Birchcr Claims . . .
No
KK
Connection9
A John Bircher largely dis
counted what he called "de
liberate and widespread at
tempts to associate the soci
ety with the Communist Par
ty and the Klu Klux Klan"
in a speech at the Nebras
ka Union Wednesday.
John Rousselot, national di
rector of public relations for
the John Birch Society, stated
that the Society "has no sym
pathy with the Klan and we
have oppossed the Nazis as
much as we have opposed
Communism."
Throughout his talk in the
Union ballroom, Rousselot
continually referred to a"Com
munist criminal conspiracy"
and frequently quoted J. Ed
gar Hoover, national director
of the Federal Bureau of In
vestigation (FBI).
About 200 students and fac
ulty attended -the program
sponsored by the Union Talks
and Topics Committee.
Rousselot also referred fre
quently to "Communist Par
ty efforts to stop the John
Birch Society." The party
has been "carrying out that
program with Increasing fury
Rousselot said, adding that
"our only opposition is no t
the communist Party."
The speaker also gave a
statement of purpose of the
John Birch Society noting,
"We regard education as the
means for bringing about
change in the government."
Members of the Society, he
said, are "earnestly determ
ined to be active and respon
sible participants in civic af
fairs." Rousselot also attacked the
contention of some citizens
that the names of members
of the Society should be pub
lished. He said no voluntary
organizations publish the
names of their members and
offered this as one defense
for the non-publication of
names of John Birch Society
members. "You write to the
Boy Scouts of America or any
other national organization
and they won't give you their
list of members either," Rou
selot said'
Some of the current pro
grams of the Society were
outlined by Rousselot. He said
the group has started over
500 "support your local police
programs" throughout the na
tion, published "over $400 a
year retail sales" In books and
pamphlets and spearheaded a
campaign to "bring about the
Impeachment of "U.S. Su
preme Court Justice Earl
Warren.
Rousselot said the Society
is working for Warren's im
peachment because under
him the Supreme Court "has
gone far beyond its given
powers and its given author
ity." A question-answer session
following Rousselot's speech
brought numerous questions
from the floor and some sharp
controversy.
